Sunset in Cow Country. What a beautiful time to reflect.
The sun has just dipped low behind the trees across the road outside my window - is blood-orange brilliance now dimmed to a blush pink rimmed with gold. And I am now not quite so blinded by the light. Funny how it seems that it is only as the brilliance passes and we sit somewhat melancholy in the afterglow that we have th momentary glimpse of both what could have been and what should not have been. A taste of both the bitter and the sweet.
I am not complaining. Life has been a very good ride for the most part. I have awesome family and friends that I would climb mountains for and vice versa. But sometimes - when that sun is setting I must say I have a bit of time to consider regretting - and then the golden glow bounces up and I catch myself and know that my path is a pretty good one.
I think I am pretty lucky to know that the people I truly love are for the most part happy. Even the ones who are far distant or that I have lost touch with have found their place in the universe and are laughing and enjoying their days. And I find no small amount of solace in the warmth that that gives me. Pretty peaceful here in Cow Country as I watch the sun settle for the night and breathe - just breathe - knowing that really great people are in really great places - most if not all doing really greath things - and for those who are working toward the doing - I hold the certainty that they will get there. That's what good people do............they attract good things, it may not always seem like it, but life is abundant and I am so lucky to be able to share and to have shared mine with wonderful folk who deserve every ounce of magic good karmic energy that swings their way -
I sure hope all of you are enjoying the sunset or the sunrise - depending on where you are on our fabulous planet this fine October day.
I am grateful for the chance to know you and be known by you.
Be blessed and feel blessed - the world is a wonderful place
